Anyone know where to get a lightly damaged cylinder sleeve redone? Is it possible/worthwhile? There are 4 spots; these are the worst two (the others are only into the sleeve, not the bore).
Thoughts??

With that you can get the edges knocked off with a quick machine and hone... BUT, where that gouge is it will just create a high pressure zone in the compression and combustion stages... Might have consistent reoccurring head gasket problems. What motor is this?

I have no idea what I'm talking about but couldn't you put some weld on it and machine it back so it's smooth?
is it nikasil or steel?
if its nikasil it looks like it needs to be redone. electrosil in Victoria are the best
No idea. It's an RSV4 motor.

Try Electrosil and send them some pictures etc. they might just be able to fix it... This wont be cheap tho.

Yep Nikasil bores it seems on the RSV 4... you wont get the gouges out by just plating (super thin layer)... im unsure if they can weld up, re grind and then plate... You would never get it into round again i reckon.

a replate is around $500-$600, so if they need to weld it up too, then a few hours more work.
you usually have to send them the piston too, so they can get the clearance right

Cost me $500 at Electrosil to just slightly rehone an RSV4 bore. To fix that would be significantly more. Yes, RSV4 bores are Nikasteel/chrome.
Id be throwing it away and getting new cases.
Thanks everyone. I think it's a 'replace' not 'repair'. Appreciate the insights!
